I’m Nigerian and my husband is Jamaican... he loves Ackee and I’m ok with it. It’s amazing to me how Ackee is not native but came to Jamaica from West Africa... however it isn’t celebrated in West Africa as it is in Jamaica.

[@slaytheeofficial3625]

Im half Jamaican and I'm 11 and I cook myself ackee and saltfish with yellow yam green banana bread fruit and juneplum juice yum

[@cyco781loco1]

I can cook acki and salt fish like a don but ur video was simple and very easy for beginners i enjoy this dish everytime with eaither fried dumplin or coco bread

[@CaribbeanCookingTV]

Thanks loonii toonz for your comments, what other dishes do you cook like a don?

[@janetcousins8287]

Cconut oil is the best for flavour and taste and keeping it closer to the tradition. All those staples mentioned are good but the main staple that accompanies ackee is roasted bradfruit.

[@iancaldeian]

Start by putting some Hoil hin, hadd Honion, alf of a tomato and hadd the Hakee. I love it, thanks.

The Nang jolka Ghost pepper is the strongest pepper. If using ghost, only One half tea spoon or less of the pepper is enough. Any more, you will get hurt. Becarful, and eat good!

Learn to cook the national dish of Jamaica Ackee and Saltfish #jamaica #food #cooking #jamaican

[@janlopez8458]

CaribbeanCookingTV Ackee is a fruit. Why not use fresh ? tinned foods are preserved . :-( .

[@CaribbeanCookingTV]

Yes Jan Lopez you are correct, but most ackee sold out of Jamaica is in cans/tins. Not fresh or frozen, thank you for asking.

[@Shellytee2007]

CaribbeanCookingTV how long do you boil the saltfish for?

[@CaribbeanCookingTV]

Hi Shelly Thelwell normally saltfish is soaked in water to remove the excess salt, you can do this twice. Then you flake it can it can be cooked in a few minutes with ackee in the frying pan.

[@Shellytee2007]

CaribbeanCookingTV thank you

[@CaribbeanCookingTV]

Saltfish is soaked first to remove excess salt and the flaked and added.

[@shawti3eee]

and he didnt mention that you have to rinse the saltfish. its actually so salty u need to rinse it

[@errolcollins7647]

Or boil it for 20 minutes.

[@soniadoreendoreensonia8237]

Salt fish need to soak in plenty water or boiled properly more than once to remove excess salt! !!!!not rinse

[@roymckenzie9733]

[@Driveright698]

did you cook the fish before adding it to pan????

[@JennyDason]

MrShanna1984 no u don't cook the fish, just wash it

[@davanealexander5268]

MrShanna1984 IT'S UP TO YOU IF U WANT TO BOIL IT FIRST. SOME PEOPLE BOIL IT TO GET RID OF SOME OF THE SALT OTHERS DONT MIND THE SALT SO IT'S UR CHOICE :)

[@linda409]

If ackee is not ripe then you're gonna be dead *sorry for the ones who love ackee*

[@ronkodak5488]

ackee don't ripe it Open and release a poison gas its our national dish so it have to eat

[@c3nebony]

He used the tin so technically didn't have to mention the "ripe" aspect.

[@cappyjones]

Ackee from the tin is not dangerous at all.

[@HeathenDeluxe]

Where the thyme?

[@CaribbeanCookingTV]

HeathenDeluxe thanks but not all people use thyme for example see cooklikeajamaican.com/ackee-and-saltfish/

[@CaribbeanCookingTV]

HeathenDeluxe the use of thyme whilst common place for many dishes isn't always used by everyone all the time.

[@ShadaeABrown]

HeathenDeluxe I hate thyme in my ackee tbh

[@janetcousins8287]

Shadae Brown... I too

[@kreapsstudio1429]

[@soniadoreendoreensonia8237]

This man using gallons of cooking oil

[@kgriff5537]

Yeah, I agree. Waay too much oil. You only need enough oil to release the flavors out the seasoning. With the amount of oil he dumped in it looked like him a think bout gravey 😊

[@shordy77]

Dam he look like the men from the sex books I use to read ... when I invisioned the author describing the Jamaican man she met on vacation 😍... anyway thanks almost finished.. but I don’t have tomato 🍅 🤦🏾‍♀️... oh well

[@gdawgsuper758]

Bit tight on de fish eh my brudda?

[@dongorgon612]

He didn’t use no garlic, that’s not no Jamaican Ackee

[@jenisetyler2027]

Shut up. Maybe he don’t. Like it.

[@dongorgon612]

@@jenisetyler2027then don’t call it Jamaican Ackee

[@PWDM914]

Way to much oil

[@brittanybravo8872]

Ackee is a national vegetable??? lol im dead.................. this guy tho................ is he really Jamaican?.......... don't think so......#realknowreal............. anywho what happen to boiling the salt fish and pimento and thyme.......... don't make sense to use the name Jamaica if you are not gonna do it the Jamaican way.... Just to show you this is not the Jamaican way do research and find out how many Jamaicans use tinned ackee.

[@emaniburton9422]

He lives in foreign. He cant get fresh ackee.

[@janetcousins8287]

Brittany Bravo...Maybe he said national "vegetable" because ackee is a fruit really eaten as a vegetable. Also, not all persons boil the fish as this can diminish the flavour. A bit of soaking and cleaning the fish of all bones, skin etc is usually sufficient preparation. Some persons also do not add thyme and pimento as they find that these can over-power the flavour of the dish.
